Begin Three-Match Homestand Sunday
Saturday, Sept. 13, 2003
Sunday has also been dubbed “Youth Soccer Day.” All area youth soccer players will be admitted free provided they are wearing a team uniform.
The Cajuns (3-2) enter Sunday's matinee coming off a 2-1 win over Northwestern State on Friday and will be looking for their first home win of the regular season.
UL Lafayette will also be seeking to snap a scoreless drought at Cajun Field which currently stands at 266:44. The Cajuns have been shutout in their last two regular-season matches at Cajun Field and have lost three straight dating back to last season's Oct. 18 match against North Texas.
Tiffany Garber leads the Cajuns offense with three goals and six total points. The Lafayette native scored the match-winning goal against NSU - her second match-winner of the season.
UL Monroe brings a 1-3-1 record into Sunday's match and is coming off of a 2-2 draw with Centenary College Friday in Monroe. The Indians have scored just five goals in five matches this season but have scored those five goals in the last two outings.
The Cajuns lead the all-time series 2-0-1. The two teams played to a 3-3 tie last season in Monroe as Julia McVarish registered a hat trick in her first NCAA match helping the Indians rally from a 2-0 deficit.
UL Lafayette won the only previous meeting in Lafayette taking a 1-0 win at Moore Park in Carencro on Oct. 3, 2001.
Following Sunday's match, the Cajuns will continue their current three-match homestand with a 7 p.m. match against LSU on Friday, Sept. 19.
INJURY UPDATE: UL Lafayette will be without the services of three players for Sunday's tilt with ULM.
Kristina Klausen, who has missed all five matches this season, is still doubtful for Sunday's match after suffering a knee injury in the Cajuns exhibition match with Mississippi Valley State. The injury has healed and she is awaiting evaluation before returning to the field.
Ashley Delahoussaye will be out for the next 2-3 weeks after aggravating a knee injury suffered her sophomore year in the opening weekend of the season.
Ainsley Breaux will be out for the rest of the season after sustaining a season-ending knee injury in last Sunday's match with Southern Mississippi. Breaux is one of three Cajuns with at least two goals scored.
